Row of components in the same distance?

[jo-ke]

I'm working quite a while with SU but there is one thing, that I didn't found out yet:

If I want to make a row of components with the same distance, what is the trick to get always the same distance?

Copy a component with Move+Crtl, then type *10 and Enter to make 10 copies.

...or you can type /10 to make the copies between the start and finish points.

This also works with the Rotate tool.

Oh thank you very much.

Some things are very easy if you know how it works
